"Lt. Andrew D. Marshall, pilot in a Negro fighter group of the Mediterranean Allied Air Force had his plane shot up by flak during a strafing mission over Greece before the Allied invasion. When he came down all that was left of the plane was his engine and himself. But he only suffered from some cuts and bruises. Greeks hid him from the Nazis, then directed him to the British forces when they parachuted into Greece." Image courtesy of National Archives and Records Administration. |
